๐ What happened
โ ๏ธ The Serie A matchday 10 game was played at the Dall'Ara on 31 October. Monza won an early penalty when Theate was judged to have fouled Dany Mota, and Varela scored it.
โก In the 33rd minute Pobega volleyed in from 13 yards after a Miranda corner to make it 1-1. Some outlets list the goal in the 32nd minute.
๐ In the second half Lucchesi was penalised for pulling back Theate as they challenged for a header, and after a VAR check Bernardeschi converted the penalty to complete the turnaround.
๐ก๏ธ The last scare came in the 81st minute. Zortea was penalised after VAR for a handball while defending a Robinson cross, but Skorupski saved Cutrone's kick. Football Italia reported that he also stopped a Cutrone shot in stoppage time.
